All these user hostile behavior finally tipped me over the edge last year after I started to get Windows 10 EOL popups. No way I was going to "upgrade" to a ad/spyware/subscription ridden MS marketing platform and be constantly nagged at to try out more of their services.

Moved to a Fedora Desktop, liberating to move back to an conflict-free OS whose primary focus is to serve its users, imagine that.

I've been using Xubuntu for years now,and run Windows 10 in a VM for the few things I need on there that I dont' have a linux replacement for (or cared to hack together). I'm about 99% linux and macos now, and don't miss windows at all.
